Tho total number of driving licences issued this year compared favourably with the number for. the corresponding period last year. Tlie total of heavy traffic licences would compare favourably with that for tho previous year.

"It is ray considered opinion that the complaint is exaggerated and largely without justification," the inspector said in his report, in connection with a complaint regarding noise caused by motorlorries 011 the Great South Road between Market Road , and Campbell Road. Members of the council did not agree that the complaint was unjustified, and referred the matter back to the inspector for further investigation.

Since the beginning of the year 04 building permits had been issued, representing property worth £22,748.
